Four Year Old Boy Is Burned To Death

Winnfield, La., Feb. 7 - Ernest Harrison, the four year old child of Mrs. F.
O. Harrison, a widow living in South Winnfield, was burned to death here
Thursday.

The mother had been called across the street to attend a sick neighbor, and
had left her small children, one about six years old, little Ernest, aged
four, and one about two years old, playing about a room in which was burning
an open wood fire.  The children were playing "horses," when the little fellow
fell into the blaze and was burned about the face and body so badly that he
lived only about two hours.

One of the neighbors, a Mrs. Johnson, happed to be passing the door and on
hearing the children's outcries, stopped to see what was the matter, when she
found the little fellow's clothing in a blaze.  In her________________badly
burned on the hands and arms.
